Murray: It's my time to win again

ANDY MURRAY contests his third Grand Slam final in a row today. If he wins, he
will be the first player in the Open era to claim his first two major titles
in consecutive championships. The Scot believes he will do so, saying: “This
is my time.”

At 8.30am Murray will again face the world No 1, Novak Djokovic, in the
Australian Open final, just as he did to win the US Open title at Flushing
Meadows four months ago. Although the 25-year-old Scot trails 10-7 to
Djokovic in their career record and has lost his two previous Australian
Open meetings with the Serb, the third seed is confident. “More often than
not, I’m now giving myself chances to win these events every time I play
them,” he said. Murray insists he will suffer no ill-effects from his
four-hour semi-final on Friday against Roger Federer.
